Big Tech Signs Trump’s Pledge To Limit AI Energy Costs, But Will It Work?

I mean, big tech won’t work with no energy, so no…

AI’s the greedy guzzley goblin that just keeps on guzzling and by 2035 it wants to eat triple what it’s currently chomping. BUT DON’T WORRY! It’s “Donald Trump” to the rescue!

GOOGLE, MICROSOFT, META, AMAZON, ORACLE, XAI AND EVEN OPENAI just signed a pledge to bear the cost of powering whatever new data centres they build. It comes as prices and inflation are both on the rise for everyday Americans and Trump seeks to appeal to voters before the midterms.

“This means that the tech companies and the data centers will be able to get the electricity they need, all without driving up electricity costs for consumers,” said Trump, massive big marker pen in hand. “This is a historic win for countless American families, and we’ll also make our electricity grid ​stronger and more resilient than ever before.”

But this isn’t purely about helping out your average household, as Trump himself pointed out: “Some data centers were rejected by communities for [high energy costs], and now I think it’s ​going to be just the opposite.”

So clearly, the pledge is designed to make these data centers more appealing (or at least less not appealing) to local communities so that they can build more of what they want with fewer roadblocks.

That’s what we call in the business a win-‘win’.
